The Royal Society of New South Wales - Southern Highlands Branch
The Society is the oldest learned society in the Southern Hemisphere, tracing its origin to the Philosophical Society of Australasia, founded in Sydney in 1821. It became the Royal Society of New South Wales by Royal Assent in 1866 and was incorporated by an Act of the NSW Parliament in 1881.
The Society exists for "the encouragement of studies and investigations in Science Art Literature and Philosophy".
The Society has an active branch in the Southern Highlands. The branch presents monthly lectures by scientists drawn from a wide range of disciplines. While these lectures will be of great interest to active scientists, they are always intended to be entertaining and informative for non-scientists with enquiring minds. The lectures are open to members of the Royal Society of NSW and to the general public. See our Lectures page for details of forthcoming lectures, dinners and admission fees.
